when david cameron doesn't have to step down for having hired and he calls his director of communications said this is this is certainly not the end of this and very serious for david cameron of course this scandal has the unfortunate of having a debt to its name we know now that former news of the world journalist sean hoare was found dead in his home he was the first person to allege that and he calls time that phone hacking was going on comparisons have been rife on the internet about the death of david kelly people on twitter and in the blogosphere saying that their the death of sean hoare and david kelly are very similar let's take a look at more information in my report. another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sean hoare was the first former news of the world journalists to go on the record to alleged phone hacking was endemic at the paper and that its

editor andy colson actively encouraged it who was found dead in his house on monday setting into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly why isn't this story bigger reminds me of how dr david kelly was bumped off eerily similar tragedies of david kelly. david kelly sean who are this what i'm thinking something's not trying to kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first called on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq by extraordinary coincidence kelly's body was discovered exactly eight years before that of sean holds on the eighteenth of july two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been.
9:03 am
gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and short haul being at the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience and i really don't believe either david or sean hoare was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense in government would have known that to kill them would just would just amplify the story i think it's simpler i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows and and found it difficult to cope with that pressure sean hoare was evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world editors supported a culture of listening to private voice mails for stories former editor andy colson who later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations the man was destroyed professionally by news international the journalistic world in london is a very small place and the man was distraught he was well known he was drinking too

much taking drugs he was depressed demoralized police a thing called death doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of hardly been quelled by the fact the post-mortem report and other evidence has been classified for seventy years so ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far the death that the key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only amongst the twitter ossie it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this had happened elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly looked at in the light of the death of david kelly.

crimes which marked the serbians drive to overcome obstacles to its e.u. membership beds john laughlin director of the institute of democracy and cooperation and friends says serbia strategy for improving its image is misguided its. i've never been a supporter of this. policy towards the hague tribunal or indeed towards the european union in general it's my view that i've expressed many times that the hague tribunal is a politically rigged court whose trials are a disgrace to the principles of due process and i moreover think that the prosecutions that have been brought against serbian. indictees are qualitatively different and more aggressive than those that have been brought against other nationalities including against croats you don't improve your image by effectively admitting as the present government in belgrade has done that serbia's role in the breakup of yugoslavia was qualitatively worse than that of the other states. go

9:09 am
they for sure knew even less if there was some sort of selection the commanders were brought here but i'm sure if you were a driver not much was done for. some seven thousand army soldiers crossed it is wrong those who were left behind would try jailed and sometimes killed as traitors for was nash and was one of those who. he'd been working with the israeli intelligence to recruit lebanese spies i did not want to run here i want to die fighting with the israeli intelligence almost forced me to call up i was told you know too much but the way they treat me now is a shame they forced me to run away. six months ago a man lawyer found four was living in a tent on the street he was hardly surviving on the few hundred dollars a month the sweetie government gave him i feel ashamed in my country. that treating not only the case so far was not jim but two thousand people that remain in state

in israel why that country and the states of peace without treating them like. it's a charge the government is aware of although it says it's doing its best to help them by giving cash education and in some cases although not in fall as a home. for them already eleven years. and i say well because the thing that we don't have to do we must do it with it's very unique. it's a very unique nobody did it do that. you name it never nobody of them. but still that treatment was not enough to stop two thirds of those who came to israel from immigrating elsewhere but i feel betrayed so the beast sitting in the special intelligence forces have not given me any help since i've been here this is the israeli lebanese border and this fence used to be known as the good friends but in the last seven years since the israelis

and there is in the middle of the night god and this is a case has been like this top secret book and this confession isn't satisfactory easer because with doubts about this whole deal cynical i get the odds and maintained his innocence ever since he along with three other photojournalists was arrested at the beginning of this month old including president mikhail saakashvili personal photographer were accused of passing on top secret information to russia's military intelligence initially insisted they were innocent then one by one the photographers started changing their testimonies eventually three of them incriminate of themselves in his panoz but up the law they insisted he was not guilty and even went on a hunger strike to provoke this point in fact his lawyer says the photographer seems to have changed his mind over the space of just ten minutes and that's led to questions over the circumstances under which the photographer seems to have changed his story managing editor of ali

a newspaper dimiter to gods it believes these admissions of guilt show the case has been fabricated. we live in a totalitarian state today all power is concentrated in the hands of president saakashvili and if someone goes against him and all of us will end up like this basically this is a message for all of us journalists including me and with women. members of the media heard the message loud and clear and stage a protest outside the jail break you talk of first are being held and preliminary detention human rights act. meanwhile believe. that this is just powering the country i'll bet on this because you know investigators want everyone who can interfere out of the picture so they can lead it the way they want to they want the case of the photographers to end without any public discussion and that's possible if all the rest to plead guilty. and well the case seems outrageous to journalists and media ordinary people it's just the latest in the seemingly endless string of

observatories in the new technological developments that are the neighbor of us to do things like adaptive optics supercomputers that have really advanced our understanding of astronomy of the large number of discoveries that i would say really makes it appropriate to call this age a golden era of astronomy. now when it comes to starting a family determined russians will stop at nothing many of the countries six million in fact all couples say that sarkozy is that only tell us of having a child but despite the practice being legal in russia the end result isn't always a case of happy families. these first photos of band on made him an orphan seen he was ill his genetic parents refused even to hold him the boy has a rare and incurable genetic disease but. they simply threw him out like an unwanted kitten and picked a healthy one. while his healthy twin brother enjoys family life and don't has no

9:25 am
so the question is when commercial gets up to the level of three point four three and a half million and certainly by two thousand and fourteen i think that's a reasonable forecast russia has removed the capital gains tax for foreigners trading on the country's stock exchanges the move is meant to attract further investment and further promote moscow's and as an international financial center and i think it is and as relations capital says investors will welcome the change but people who are in north raising russian domestic stocks know raising offshore judy are stocks right so because they don't want to be you know talks leading towards previously very sort of offshore structures or international investors buying will be excused from taught in the previous set up so in current change if we're still put three mr stokes locally same condition as international or just there are three of them so really this creates for them vector which will push them
